Last night I made a statement about supplementary questions. I would like to clarify the point I made about supplementary questions asked by non-aligned members. My intention is to maintain proportionality and, under current arrangements, that would allow for one supplementary question each week for non-aligned members. Should the number of questions asked by non-aligned members change, I would seek to accommodate that change with regard to supplementary questions.
